I have to plug someone from my home town: Cadence Weapon he’s got a mix of beats but is very unique and a bit electro-influenced.

Adding to jownpowell’s list would be Sixtoo and his collab with Buck65, Sebutones – all very incestuous with Sage Francis et al. though he never got as renowned as Buck65. I suppose you could toss in Aesop Rock’s earlier stuff too.

You might wanna check out www.pandora.com, it’s a great site to find new music on. Just type in a particular song/artist and it will find similar songs/artists based on beat, rhythm, vocals, genre, intrumentals, etc. etc.
